Our strategy is focused on improving our business performance through constant examination of our businesses in order to achieve long-term sustainable growth in the economic value of the Group. We are targeting growth in revenue and profits through a combination of organic growth, strategic mergers & acquisitions and active involvement in portfolio companies.
ORGANIC GROWTH
Our aim is to grow revenue through synergy between Group companies, product innovation with a focus on technology and increased business efficiency as well as expansion in high-growth markets, where our technology and products have a clear added value such as thebanking, insurance and communications sectors.
The Group is addressing both growth and innovation companies thus combining the stability of “bread and butter” mature technology enterprises with “high-risk / high-reward” innovation companies.
GROWTH ACTIVITIES
The solid side of the activities consists mainly of companies with a critical mass of international business, sustained client base, revenues and visibility to profit. Emblaze will seek companies that pose significant synergy with group portfolio direction. The acquisition of Formula Group and recent measures taken within the various companies in the Group pose a good example of such activity and its value generation to Emblaze and its shareholders.
INNOVATION ACTIVITIES
The Innovation Activities are historically the Group's R&D initiatives of breakthrough technologies constituting high-risk / high-reward opportunities. Such activities, by nature, require significant investments hence Emblaze will seek to mitigate the financial risk by bringing on board relevant industry partners to financially participate in the development as well as to assist with the marketing of the products globally.
MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
Our goal is to make bolt-on acquisitions, targeting mature software and IT companies that add value through synergies offered with existing businesses, extend our product lines, expand geographical coverage as well as constant examination of diverse business alternatives and leveraging opportunities. . This activity will also include restructuring some subsidiaries, sale of non core assets and subsidiaries as well as mergers and reduction of the minority interests throughout the structure.
ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT IN PORTFOLIO COMPANIES
Emblaze practices a hands-on, active role in portfolio companies – our management will be highly involved in taking such companies to the next level, working hand-in-hand with the management of portfolio companies to improve their activities, identify investment opportunities and focusing on growth and profitability.
The board of Emblaze believes that this strategic approach has established a solid platform for long term growth and profitability from well established technology companies addressing global markets coupled with innovative technology companies offering high reward opportunities. |
